Your 1st point is not true there’s no evidence of homosexuality within animals when there is a female present…if you know of one, where this is actually proven, please show me.
That is a very good reply, you can’t use animals behaviour to justify human behaviour, although many humans behave like animals, many animals act on automatic pilot, what we call instinct, humans have a choice, As you said some animals eat their own young, I’ve never known a human do that and be socially acceptable… To be honest people criticising my comments should just basically ignore me, unless they want a reply, that undermines their erroneous ideas…
There’s been other replies here too. Are those erroneous ideas?

“ Roy and Silo, two male chinstrap penguins at New York’s Central Park Zoo have been inseparable for six years now. They display classic pair-bonding behavior—entwining of necks, mutual preening, flipper flapping, and the rest. They also have sex, while ignoring potential female mates.”
I think your premise is flawed as homosexuality is not a “behavior” anymore than heterosexuality. It is who people are, not what they do.

Not that we should have to argue with your ignorance but Bonobos, Penguins, Apbatross, Etc. I know myself and others would like you to keep your homophobic comments to yourself.
I don’t believe there is evidence that any animal behaves solely on instinct, as to be on ‘automatic pilot’. Anyone who has spent anytime around Animals, while showing them compassion, will know this. Animals do have freewill, complex emotions, etc. This is obviously referring to complex species, like Mammals, Reptiles, etc, and not insects or microorganisms et al.

A fascinating read is “If Nietzche Were a Narwhal: What Animal Intelligence Reveals About Human Stupidity”. It explores all of this. You’d be amazed the level of cognition bees have.

This topic is just a mess. I’m gonna lock it. If another mod thinks it should be open they can reopen it, but I think this has run its course.

I wanted to keep it open for a while since both sides were being civil and even though it has nothing to do with comics, people voiced their opinions in a polite manner. I am fine with it being closed though. I think everyone got their say.
